Jim Kusler
State of North Dakota
Enjoy your Centennial edition of the North Dakota Blue
Book. It's an easy to use, authoritative, statistical and nar­rative
profile of North Dakota's government, geography,
economy and culture.
Periodically since 1889 the North Dakota Legislature has
authorized publication of a " Legislative Manual" which has
become known as the North Dakota Blue Book because of
the first edition's blue hardcover. The 50th Legislative
Assembly directed former Secretary of State Ben Meier in
consultation with the North Dakota library community to
organize and prepare a special Centennial edition of the Blue
Book.
This Centennial edition, dedicated to Representative
Brynhild Haugland who has served continuously in the North
Dakota House of Representatives since 1939, contains more
information, more graphics and more pictures than any
previous publication. The Blue Book has great value as a
reference book or it can simply be enjoyed for its wealth of
information.
We are especially grateful for the dedication and hard work
by the project's many participants because this special edi­tion
helps us commemorate and celebrate Nort Dakota's first
century of statehood as our nation's 39th state. The Centen­nial
edition of the North Dakota Blue Book is a keepsake you
can keep on using and appreciating well into our second cen­tury
of statehood.
Sincerely,
Jim Kusler
Secretary of State
